BLACKPINK Lisa embodied confidence by putting her name on her first solo album.

Lisa organized an online press conference to celebrate the release of her first solo single 'LALISA' on the 10th.

Today, Lisa said, "I'm so nervous and unbelievable. While practicing the choreography, I was like, 'Is this just the beginning?' I wanted to, but when I started filming the music video, I realized it." "I'm happy to be able to show you my first solo stage. I think it would be nice to see Blink (fan club) look pretty."

It is her first time to have a solo album released, after 5 years of their, debut as a group, so she showcased overflowing affection. In addition, Lisa said "It's my first solo album, so it's very meaningful. I'm very grateful to the fans who have been waiting for my solo for a long time. I've worked hard to prepare, so I hope you like it."

Both the album title and the title track were named after her. "It's just me I wanted to show my best side. I wanted to show Lalisa herself" she added. Lisa's solo album, which will be released at 1 pm today, consists of 4 tracks in total which include the title songs 'LALISA' and 'MONEY (money)' and the instrumental (accompaniment) version. The title song 'LALISA' is a hip-hop genre that harmonizes with a provocative brass riff and dynamic rhythm. 'MONEY' is also a song in which Lisa's explosive swag is expected.

Meanwhile, when Lisa was asked by the fans about the memorable lyrics for the title song 'LALISA', Lisa said, "When I first started, the lyrics, 'You can tell just by looking at my back', went so well with the choreography that I felt confident right from the start. So I think that’s the part I like the most. Our Blink (fandom name) seems to be like that because we can see from afar just by looking at my back."

Lisa will meet fans first through 'Countdown Live', which will be broadcast simultaneously through Naver V LIVE and TikTok an hour before the album's release. While on 1 pm today, the first solo single album ‘LALISA’ will be released. Later on, she will perform her first solo stage on NBC's signature talk show, 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon'.

Meanwhile, Lisa would like to incorporate the culture of my native Thailand into her solo debut song.

Lisa explained the process of reflecting on her native Thai culture in her first solo song at the same press conference which was released today.

Lisa said that the ideas were actively reflected as it was her first solo. She added that she wanted to put a Thai feel into the song this time, but Teddy Oppa just arranged it in a Thai style which she liked. Moreover, she added black and gold to the album design.

Lisa revealed that she wore Thai clothes this time and told the director that she wanted to wear Thai clothes in the music video, and the result was pleasant. She also added traditional Thai dance to the MV. Moreover, she wanted to showcase her Thai culture, in her solo album 'LALISA'. The culture was well-reflected and the song itself has a Thai style. Lisa thinks that the combination would be amazing.

Meanwhile, Lisa's first single will be released on several music sites at 1 pm KST today.

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
